Governor Actuator - Calibrate

SMCS - 1716-524

Monitor Panel

This function allows the controller to memorize the corresponding data from the rotation angles of
the governor actuator and the no-load engine speed. The controller will determine the target
position of the governor actuator.
This procedure must be performed when any of the following components have been replaced or
the components are reinstalled: The governor actuator, the accelerator cable and the controller.
The temperature of the hydraulic oil must be at approximately 50 C (122 F).
1. Enter service code 70. The character display shows the following example: "70 P00". This
means "before calibration".
2. Depress the travel alarm cancel switch (22). The character display shows the following
example: 7001This means "governor actuator is moving to the initial position".
3. When the character display shows the following example, the governor actuator has
completed a movement to an initial position: "70 PSP".
4. At this condition, install the accelerator cable properly, if the cable is not installed.
5. Start the engine.
6. Depress the travel alarm cancel switch (22) again. The calibration for the governor actuator
will start. During the calibration, the character display displays the following codes:

Calibration Is Complete

7. When the calibration has been completed, the character display shows "70 E nd".
Note: In order to stop the calibration in the middle of the process, the power mode switch
(19) and travel alarm cancel switch (22) should be pressed and held simultaneously for 2
seconds or more.
8. An error will be present, if the governor actuator is moving to the initial position or being
calibrated and the character display is showing the letter "H" in the fourth character position
from the right and not showing a character in the third character position from the right.
Depress the travel alarm cancel switch (22). The error code is displayed on the right three
character positions. Refer to the following chart for details of the possible error codes.

10. An error will be present, if the governor actuator is moving to the initial position or being
calibrated and the character display is showing the letter "H" in the fourth character position
from the right and not showing a character in the third character position from the right.
Depress the travel alarm cancel switch (22). The error code will be displayed in the right
three character positions. Refer to the following chart for the details of the possible error
codes.

11. Perform the following operations when the character display shows "70 Hd 00".
a. Depress the fine control mode switch and hold the fine control mode switch (25) until
the character display stops blinking.
b. Depress the boom priority mode switch (23) or the swing priority mode switch (24) in
order to select the data that is used as the calibration data.
c. Depress the boom priority mode switch (23) in order to select the previous calibration
data.
d. Depress the swing priority mode switch in order to select the default calibration data.
e. Depress the travel alarm cancel switch (22) in order to memorize the calibration data
that has been selected.
12. When the calibration is completed, the character display may flash "70End". Then, a
number will be displayed. The cable end for the governor actuator is too loose by 6 full
turns, if a set of numbers that is similar to "70 06" is displayed. The numbers on the right
side indicate the total number of turns. The display numbers in each position can be from 1
through 0.
The cable end of the governor actuator is too tight by 6 full turns, if a set of numbers that is similar
to "70 - 06" appears in the fourth position from the left with a minus sign. Again, the numbers on
the right side indicate the total number of turns.
The four numbers on the right side will indicate the actual engine speed, if a set of numbers that
are similar to "70 20 13" appear in the third set. This code means that the engine speed is below
the correct specifications for the high idle speed of the engine.
